Happy Holidays!!


If Santa gives coal out to those who have been soooo bad about updating their blog.....I believe I would have coal in my stocking this year!  Just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.  To those Kaz kids still in the baby houses...may god bless you and keep you safe and warm and your bellies full.....may you have sweet dreams of those mamas and papas that are dreaming of you too.

On the work front, I have been flying London all month long and threw in a nice Honolulu to confuse my body even more!  And what happens? I get sick! Oh well...I was still able to enjoy a nice oceanside room in the Hilton Hawaiian Village!

On the adoption front, no word on my dossier, one way or the other.  So, I am working on updating some of my paperwork to reflect an open gender change on my Petition to Adopt and I am also working on an addendum to my Home Study Report to reflect the same.  So as usual...I get the new girl!  I paid $175 on December 2nd to my new Home Study agency and even though I have been calling for the past two weeks....still have not gotten the report.  Because as we all know....I will have to have it notarized, run it to Austin to have it Apostilled, then send it to CHI where they will have to add their paperwork, have it translated....then sent to Kaz!! I am exhausted just thinking about it! Everything in it's own time, I guess?

Some coal should also come my direction..definitely lax on blog updates!! : ) Honolulu sounds great..especially compared to our VERY cold winter in Michigan so far! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a New Year that is blessed with health, happiness, travels, and family!

Glad I am not the only one that notices the timelines of others! We still have to update our USCIS because when we went to update it was to soon and they wouldn't do it! I hope that you have a VERY Merry Christmas and here is to some good news in the New Year!
Still hoping,
Michelle
